Question 1 of 29👑 VIP
Read the following passage and answer the question below. "The rise of remote work has fundamentally altered traditional notions of the workplace. What began as an emergency measure during global disruptions has evolved into a permanent fixture of modern employment. Studies conducted between 2020 and 2024 indicate that approximately 35% of jobs in developed economies can be performed entirely remotely, while a further 20% are suitable for hybrid arrangements. Proponents argue that remote work enhances productivity, citing research showing a 13% increase in output among home-based workers compared to their office-based counterparts. Critics, however, point to the erosion of workplace culture and the blurring of boundaries between professional and personal life. Notably, junior employees and those new to the workforce appear to benefit less from remote arrangements, as they lack access to the informal mentoring and social capital that office environments naturally provide." According to the passage, what percentage of jobs in developed economies can be performed entirely remotely?
